Dr Carpenter is a friend and a colleague, and a truly exceptional human being. If Ken Paxton is ever foolish enough to show up in our neighborhood, I would be more than happy to more succinctly explain my position to him, straight to his face.

Sending best wishes to you and to Dr. Carpenter.

Despite 9 years of the shtttiness of djt and his supporters, I still can't believe that this is where we as a country are now. I'm 63, the daughter of 2 FDR Dems (they had me later in life) who grew up during the Great Depression and who lost family to the Holocaust. I think that by the time they were raising kids, they truly believed that the worst was behind us (the collective "us" in developed nations, and apologies for the semi-inhumane-ness of that), and passed on that belief to their kids.

Or maybe I just never wanted to believe that such awful things could happen again, or happen here. And maybe a lot of us Murkans were locked in the same stubborn denial.

May we all make it thru the coming admin -- may we stay strong, resist, win back this tattered democracy, and repair it by implementing policies that benefit all humans rather than just the 1%. Not sure whether that's possible in the age of billionaires, the internet, Fox, and shttheads' control of once-great papers (WaPo, the LAT) -- but I hope so, and will do what I can.

My NANDA for Ken is ineffective knowledge as evidenced by failure to mind his own business
